crash after redhat 7.3 upgrade
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: gnome-panel Severity: major Version: 1.4.0.4 Synopsis: crash after redhat 7.3 upgrade Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel Bugzilla-Component: Panel Description: I had RedHat 7.1 installed; I upgraded to RedHat 7.3 (with the three install disks in the "personal" boxed edition). During my upgrade, I added several new packages which I hadn't installed before, such as "wine", "ruby", etc. And, the first time I tried to log in, I got this crash. I suspect it's "panel" which crashed, but I can't really tell -- something in gnome startup crashed. Debugging Information: (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...

Please try gnome-libs-1.4.1.6 and gnome-core-1.4.0.8 or newer. I've made RPMS available at http://www.gnome.org/~kmaraas if you can make use of those. Please report back here whether this fixes the problem or not.
I have not seen this crash since that one "first login after 7.1->7.3 upgrade" time. I've not upgraded since, so maybe I'm not duplicating original conditions enough. Since I can't duplicate the crash with the current installation, I don't think it's worth upgrading gnome-libs or gnome-core -- I doubt they have much trouble either.
Oh, sorry... I should have ALSO said "This bug doesn't seem to be very repeatable. I'm not sure its worth pursuing. Close it out?"
